ö-zik

== Hungarian == === Alternative forms === ő-zik === Etymology === From the sound ö, /ø/, used in some Hungarian dialects (chiefly in the South, most notably around Szeged) instead of certain instances of the sound e, e.g. saying gyerök instead of gyerek (but not *györek or *györök because only the second e of this word may be a closed /e/, often marked ë in Hungarian linguistic literature, which becomes rounded in this dialect; the first letter e invariably denoting the more open sound /ɛ/). With the suffix -zik. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): [ˈøːzik] Rhymes: -øːzik Homophone: őzik === Verb === ö-zik (intransitive) to use a dialect that replaces certain e sounds with the sound ö, or to use the sound ö in a particular word or words Coordinate terms: e-zik, ë-zik, í-zik ==== Conjugation ==== === External links === A szegedi ö-zés: létezik?
